Problem

She packed her bags quickly, called a cab? and rushed to the airport, hoping she wouldn’t miss her flight to Paris.

2

Clue

A question mark is used only if the phrase is a direct question — is "called a cab?" a question, or part of a list of actions?

3

Hint

All actions in the sentence are part of a sequence. Make sure punctuation clearly separates each action but doesn’t disrupt the sentence structure.

Choices

6

Choice-A

Choice A is incorrect. Using a question mark here is incorrect unless she is asking “called a cab?” - which she’s not. It breaks sentence flow and grammar.

Wrong No change

7

Choice-B

Choice B is incorrect. Missing punctuation between actions makes the sentence run together. Without a comma or pause, it sounds rushed and grammatically incomplete.

Wrong called a cab"

8

Choice-C

Choice C is correct. This correctly separates the second action in a smooth sequence. It follows proper punctuation for a list of past actions in a single sentence.

Correct called a cab,

9

Choice-D

Choice D is incorrect. A colon is used before a list or explanation. Here, there’s no list or expansion after it, so the colon is misused and unnecessary.

Wrong called a cab:
